“お土産” means “Souvenir” and which has been used as the meaning of “a usually small and relatively inexpensive thing that is kept as a reminder of a person, place, or event.”. The basic way to use it is “___はお土産を買う。(___ buy a souvenir.)”, “私は___からお土産をもらう。(I am given a souvenir from ___.)”, etc. For instance, “私はお土産を買う。(I buy a souvenir.)”, “私は友達からお土産をもうう。(I am given a souvenir from my friend.)”, etc. The tips for using it is that “お土産” is used as the meaning of “you buy a SOUVENIR in a TRAVELING DESTINATION”. Everybody could use “お土産” both in daily conversations as casual and in business situations as formal such as “お土産をもらったよ。(I was given a souvenir.)” and “お土産をもらいました。(I was given a souvenir.)”.
お土産ありがとう! (Thanks for the souvenir!) (谢谢你的特产!) (기념품 고마워!) (Cảm ơn bạn vì món quà!)
